A Perfect Moment, Plus Other Stuff
Nov. 22nd, 2006 04:08 pmToday, I was walking from finishing a good driving lesson to quickly grab some lunch before I had to meet with a class group. I had my iPod going, and it was playing "Your Song" as sung by Ewan MacGregor in Moulin Rouge. So, there was nifty swelling music in my ear, and even though it was raining, I was in a very good mood. Then a random young man came up to me and said, "Would you like an umbrella?" He offered me a bright blue umbrella, which I gladly accepted. The blueness of the umbrella (it is exactly the shade of blue of a cloudless spring sky) perked me up even more. I was also interested to find, taped to the handle, an invitation for me to Repent and Accept the Good News. This seems to me to be the most useful ministry ever. Having already Accepted the Good News, I felt free to happily use the umbrella. I opened the umbrella and was surrounded by blue just as the sun peeked out from behind the clouds and the song reached its climactic chords. Good times. It's amazing how much joy a blue umbrella can bring.
Today was crazy-busy, but I still managed to crank out half a letter to Jane over my morning coffee. I hope to finish that up this evening and post it. I have turned in my paper, and now I have another one to write--but this second one should be much easier. I plan to write that after the Thanksgiving holiday.
Speaking of Thanksgiving, that's tomorrow! We are going over to my mom-in-law's house tomorrow, after picking up Alex's sister and brother-in-law. There will be food and a big puzzle and a cat who will revel in all of the attention that she is going to get. I expect that my cat will be lonesome, which means that he should get lots of love this evening (providing I can catch him).
Since I probably won't be posting tomorrow, I just wanted to wish all of you a Very Happy Thanksgiving. May your holiday be full of food and family, and may you be able to relax! I am very thankful for all of you.
I think that I shall go and see about getting some fun writing done while Alex plays Lego Star Wars. Or maybe I'll just knit mindlessly. We'll see.
